Keeping your head elevated while sleeping can prevent mucus from pooling in your sinuses. Use an extra pillow or a wedge pillow to keep your head at a slight incline, approximately 30-45 degrees. This position helps facilitate sinus drainage and reduces nighttime congestion.
11. Keep Your Environment Humid
Dry air can exacerbate sinus pressure by drying out mucus membranes. Using a humidifier in your home, particularly in your bedroom, can maintain an optimal humidity level of around 40-50%. Be sure to clean the humidifier regularly to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria, which can worsen sinus issues.
